How to add language translations in Sketchware

As your username grows, you will probably want to add translations to your app. These will enhance the user experience for users in other countries, and locations who speak another native language. This tutorial will show you how to implement translations in Sketchware.

I have create a settings page and added a spinner where the user can choose their preferred language. My settings page looks like this:

Step 2. In onCreate I have added a list string with the languages that I want my app to be translated to. So my logic in onCreate will look like this:

Step 3. Once the user chooses a language, they can click the Save button to confirm their language selection. So I created a shared preferences component with the name "settings" and file name "settings." I will save the language selection using the key "language." This is where the language information will be saved. My logic on the Save button's onClicked event will look like this:

Sketchware save spinner data to shared preferences

Step 4. I created a moreblock with the name "translations." This block will be placed onCreate. It will contain my various textviews and edittexts as well as their translations in the respective languages. The example below uses 3 translations i.e. French, Deutsche and Español. The App uses the English language by default, so that means it is available in 4 languages.

NB- If we want to add translation to another activity, we simply need to recreate the same settings component and use the language key.

We can now run our app and our settings page will look like this.

An oversight, a word unsaid or even a lapse in our judgement can cause our loved ones harm. This doesn't always have to be the end though. Oftentimes, relationships can be mended by simply uttering three simple words: "I AM SORRY". This article is a collection of some of my favourite 'I'm sorry' songs. I hope you'll enjoy these apology songs, but more importantly, I hope you will get a few quotables and some wisdom nuggets from them. The best apology however, is to change behaviour (got that from a Jay Z interview) so as you apologize, please remember that it was your actions that hurt them. The best apology is one which involves you not repeating those same mistakes aga
